Anthony Martial could play a key part in convincing Tiemoue Bakayoko to join Manchester United

The United winger even posted a congratulatory message on Twitter to his former team-mate when he netted against rival Manchester City in the Champions League last month.

And while Chelsea have the likes of N’Golo Kante and Kurt Zouma from their French contingent, the Manchester Evening News claim his strong relationship with United’s Martial could play a factor in any transfer decisions Bakayoko has to make this summer.
